N~$Longer Relied Upon To Get
A Crowd.
*
Three things at least are necessary
to make a successful auction: A good
anctiooeer, a crowd of buyers and
good weather, No one can guarantee
thelast, but we would not hesitate to
pledge the second, provided the auction has heen properly advertised.
A f«*w years have witnessed almost a
complete revolution in this matter.
No one who has given it any thought
would for a moment trust to bills a-
lone. Bub a very limited territory
can be reached that way and the expense of posting bills even at that is
more than advertising would cast.
And as a rule it does not reach the
men who make an auction "hum."
When a man goes 10 or 15 miles to
an auction because he sees in the ad
« horse just such as be wants, $10 or
more will not prevent his getting it.
Enough more may be made on a cow i
or some one tool to pay all the expense of advertising.
Bills are nnreliable in many ways.
They may be torn down and destroyed, the date of sale forgotten or people too much hurried to stop and look
them over carefully to note any articles that misbt interest them. With
the pappr at home, tbey can refer to
at any time and the sale is kept in
mind. "
Of course that this advertising may
be of valne, it must be in a paper of
extended circulation. The Sentinel
has a larger circulation than all the
ether papers ot the county combined
and can guarantee results. We have
advertised auctions where the parties
never posted a bill, yet the result
was entirely satisfactory.
Two auctions are advertised thiB
week both to be cried by the veteran
auctioneer, Co). Ward. We are su«-e
, he will do his part to make tbam a
success. Both are comparatively
stnall sales, yet there ia enough to interest a crowd of buyers. Look over
the ofFeringB carefully.
MBS. CHARLES  HUBBEL.
Mrs. Hubbel wishes to close out
everything on the farm and all will
positivly ha sold. Besides a span of
f horses, the ottering consists mostly
of farm tools and household goods.
Any young couple about to commit
matrimony can get the major part,of
an outfit at their own price. See ad

HENRY N.  COFFMAN.
Mr. Coif man is about to quit farming and will on Oct. 22nd spII the
farm stock, some tools and a considerable quantity o I corn in tliH shock
at the farm one n ile north of Arthur
Town Hall. It wut uV noiic-tl that"
he offers 7 horses^ and colts, 3 cows,
to be fresh in the winter, young Rattle, sheep and hogs. See ad on another page.

Double Quick Time.
One way to guard against fires is
to be ready when the fire comes.
The fire drill has come to be a part
of the regular routine of school life,
«ven though not practiced often.
And this very thing b-is time and
again saved the loss of many lives in
time of actual fire.
Yesterdav the alarm was given at
the school house, the entire building
being emptied in sixty seconds.
Such a feat speaks well for the discipline in force throughout the several
grades.
Eugenically Speaking,
The uttention of those scientifically
and charitably inclined is called to a
sad esse that has recently coiae to
our notice, A yonng woman of German parentage and a young man of
Austrian descent were married seven
yeaja. ago. Since then they have had
six children, of whom one died almost at birth, one is very delicate,
and two are said to be deaf mutefl.
The motber is devoted to them, and
the father i8 very energetic and in-
dustriouB, but is unprepared to make
a living beca'use of lack of proper
training in his youth, The family is
now dependent in part on the public
for support, and as the trade followed by tbe father is extremely
hazardous, he may become entirely
dependent at almost any time. Tbe
only thing that prevents us from appealing for contributions for them, is
the fact that the parents described
are the king and queen of Spain.

DIES SUDDENLY;
Arthur E. Doty of Greenwood
Drops Dead.
Ttcame as a distinct shock to all to
learn that Mr' Doty euddenly expired Sunday afternoon. We have
no details but are informed that he
was in his usual health and attending to the chores at the barn when
death came, almost without warning.
Mr. Doty was for many years supervisor of bin township and well
known over the county. -For several
years he has been a director in the
Farmers' Mutual Insurance Co. in
which be took much interest. The
funeral was held on Wednesday.

times around tbe Parsonage till it
was nearly Tuesday.
It is said tbat tbe mother was in

DOCTOR ARRESTED
For Violating Local Option
At Flint.
Law
Dr. E, H. Bailey of Flint has been
arrested for violation of the local
option law. It is claimed that he
wrote a perscription for a man five
days in succession, eaca calling for
a pint of whiskey.
Great Scott! What sort of crank
has Genessee county for prosecuting
attorney? Isn't he able to under*
stand that a man may have "heart
palpitation" or "feel bad" five days
in succession? Has he not yet
learned that modern ncienee has
discovered no rpme'ly for these distressing eomplaintp except a large
amount of whiskey and the opportunity to get drank? What is tha
world coming to anyway?
We cannot stand for anything
great and far away for leajj, unless
W« first stand fnr something wearer
borne. And wbat can be nearer to
the heart of every good conscien-
cious moiher than the proper training of her children, both in home
and the school.
It was -through the efforts of our
Union that scientific systematic
teaching of physiology and hygiene
have been placed in all grades of our
public schools. This is very good
even, at this late day,
but if tbis had been the law when tbe
men who now hold office were little
boys in school, it naturally follows
that inasmuch as we cannot get very
far from our early training there
wonld be fewer men- in public lite
today-who could be so easily led to
ally themselves on the Wrong side of
the battle line. As has been reiterated from the pulpit and on the street
corner, it.is a burning shame that so
many to whom we have a right to
look for civic lightness will allow
themselves to be constantly whipped
into line by the enemy,' thus giving
over what little influence they may
possess to the detriment ot public
good. As a matter of fact such peo-.
pie gain very little favor with either
class, neither side ever knowing just
where to find them, expecting them
to be ever ready to jump for the
largest plum. fc
We do not look for everybody to
stand with us as a Union in such matters, but recent exploitations of some
Of our prominent officials have so
disappointed and disgusted us to say
the least that we stand with mouth
agape wondering what the next
move will be.
To the christian women of Olare
and vicinity, we make an appeal to
visit our Union and learn with us
what this great body of .women are
doing and have done. Our local
union is small and we need yonr help.
We welcome you to join us. In an*
other item you will find notice of our
next meeting.

ity of the audience shared the disadvantage of the writer in haviiig
never read this work. However,
there was much of Interest in the
introduction and conclusion that all,
could appreciate.
He remarked that as it required
all the drainage waters of the conn*
try from the 'Alleghanies tO the
Rockies to produce the Mississippi,
so the entire life of a nation for a
long period of time was necessary to
produce such an epic as the Aeneid
of the Romans, the Iliad of the
Greeks or the Nibelungun—Lied of
the Germans. Americanism (confined to th8 United States)culminated in, and was typified by, Abraham Lincoln. It is Mr. Miller's opinion that had Washington been living
in 1861, he would have sided with
the Confederacy, and Benjamin
Franklin was the forerunner of the
Morgans and Rockefellers. He
called attention to the fact-that inevitably in course of time much of
myth and legend will cluster about
the name of any great historic,
character and predicted that 2000
years from now this would be true
of Lincoln.
He closed by calling attention to
some of the things this great epic
typifies and the lessons that may be
drawn from it.
Almeron  Ballard.
At tbe home 6f his son in the south
part of the City Thursday morning
occurred the death of Almeron Ballard.
The deceased was born In the state
of New York, June 8, 1848, coming
Witb his parents to Michigan the
following y»ar. He was tbe youngest of a large family ot children, of
whom three brothers and two sisters
survive, residing at various points
in tbis state.
Two sons are left to mourn, Freeman A. Ballard who has been connected with the Roe garage since his
arrival in Clare last June, also
Archie V. Ballard of Flint.
Services were conducted by Rev.
Geo. D. Lyford at the house Friday,
the remains being taken l;o E»ton

OOBDiAL BECEPTIJE
Tendered Rev. frwin and
Monday Evening.
We regret most exceedingly that
we were unable to attend the reception tendered Rev, Irwin wife at the
church parlors on MondaV evening.
A very larg* number attended and a
most delightful time enjoyed as we
are sure. J. F. Tatman spoke for the
church and Rev. Knight for the other
churches of the city. Nelson Irish
gave a recitation and Miss Fisk, Mrs.
Lamoreaux and perhaps others, gave
readings. No little part ot the entertainment consisted of music furnished by a ladie3 quartette, by Miss
Blackburn and others. To all the
wor"ds of welcome Mr, Irwin made a
feeling ahd fitting response.
We are sure we shall echo, the
sentiment of all when we say that
Mr. Irwin has been, not only the
herald of a practical, everyday gospel of clean living, but he has been
the fearless apostle of civic righteousness, something most sadly needed in
these days'. The Sentinel most cordially welcomes his return and needs j
no assurance that in the year to come
lio will bo the same fearless champion
of What is best iu our religious and
civic life.
ada, where five children were born,
four of them dying in  infancy.
In 1880 tbey came to Michigan and
located in Clare, then a hamlet of
less than 2°0 people. Here another
child was born. While the country
was still a dense forest they located
and bought a 12) acre farm*, four
miles north of town, now known as
the Eugene Stanley place. At that
time there were only' four families
living between Clare aud Dover.
There was scarcely a road—ox-teams
being used, but the roads were So
rough that it was well jiigh impossible to ride, 'so walking was pr-efer-

Mr. and Mrs. Presley worked together and cleared this farm and
saw the country gradually cleared
up and the village gradually acquire,
its present citified airs.
In ordgr to give their family the
privilege of the town school, they
moved into Clare and thereafter lived
alternately on the farm and in town
until in 1*900 the.v sold the farm to

which complaints had been made.
Among other acts was one - placing

partment, Under tbis law the chem-
list of th* Agricultural College, the
cbenitat of the Dairy and Food Department and the chemist of (be Agricultural Experiment Station are
made a commission to formulate
rules and regulations for the Weighing, taring and testing of all sugar
beets iu the state. These rules and

Under the provisions of this law
any farmer who is furnishing beets
to a factory and is dissatisfied with
the weighing and taring of his beets
or with the analysis of the sugar contents, may file a complaiut with the
Dairy and Food Commissioner of
Lansing and tbe matter wilt be

The Pairy and Food Department
will also test all scales used in weighing sugar beets and if any grower

along this line,
Sugar beet factories are required
at tbe close of tbeir season to file a
sworn statement of the number of
tons of beets sliced and pay into the
State Treasury a tax of % cent on
each ton, tbis fund being used to defray the expense of enforcing the
law. All weigbmen, taremen and

of an entertainment course of five
numbers for only '$1.00, or at the rate
of 20 cents each.   Nothing that  we*

for the first number could tell of her*
merits as the following from    Gov*.

host of friends at the Ferris Institute?
last; night.   Students     and    townspeople were more   than    delightecE
with  her    rendering of 'If I were
King.'   Some of America's greatest
artists have, during the "past fifteen
years, occupied the platform at the--
Ferris Institute.   No  one has ever
won heartier applause and commendation.   Mrs. Pooler has the simplicity of   genius.   Her   plaee   among
great entertainers is assured.   It is a-
